Let the body of Christ praise God
from all blessings flow.
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
“Great is Thy faithfulness!”
“Great is Thy faithfulness!”
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Today we relight the first two candles of the Advent wreath.
The candles of HOPE and PEACE.
Now we light the third candle of Advent. This is the candle of JOY. As the coming of
Jesus, our Savior, draws nearer, our joy builds with our anticipation of his birth.
From the Book of Isaiah we read the words of our Lord: “But be glad and rejoice
forever in what I am creating; for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy, and its
people as a delight.” -- Isaiah 65:18

SERMON TITLE: “It Happened at Church”
Mark 2:1-5 (NRSV) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8:00 am
When he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home.
2 So many gathered around that there was no longer room for them, not even in front of the
door; and he was speaking the word to them. 3 Then some people[a] came, bringing to him
a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 And when they could not bring him to Jesus
because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and after having dug through it,
they let down the mat on which the paralytic lay. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the
paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
SERMON TITLE: “Are You Drinking Enough Water?”
John 4:7-14 (NIV) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9:30 am
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has
been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because
God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into
the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he
loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so
loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love
one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 13 This is how we know that
we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that
the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
SERMON TITLE: “Let The Redeemed of The Lord Say So”
Psalm 107:2a (KJV)

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the
enemy...
